Bourbon roses are a type of rose that originated in the late 18th century, primarily from a cross between China roses and Damask roses. They are known for their rich fragrance, large blooms, and ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the growing season. These roses typically have a bushy growth habit and can reach heights of 3 to 5 feet. The flowers of Bourbon roses come in various colors, including pink, red, and white, often with a soft, velvety texture. They thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun, making them a popular choice for gardens. Their historical significance and beauty continue to attract rose enthusiasts today.
